Cumberland Valley Appalachian Trail Club

In collaboration with the Boiling Springs Civic Association and local businesses, the Cumberland Valley Appalachian Trail Club spearheaded a project to replace deteriorating concrete and wooden benches around Children’s Lake in the village of Boiling Springs. Children’s Lake is the centerpiece of the village, and is a popular community and tourist attraction for hikers, fishermen, and families. The newly installed benches reflect the historic iron industry, and provide ample seating space from which to enjoy the ample natural and cultural resources of Boiling Springs, a gateway into the South Mountain landscape.

The South Mountain Partnership is managed as a public-private partnership by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.

This website was financed in part by a grant from the Community Conservation Partnerships Program, the Environmental Stewardship Fund, under the administration of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of Recreation and Conservation.
